Freeze Health:
--------------
Press [F11] to freeze the health of all players

Restoring damaged combots:
--------------------------
There are two ways to repair combots: Sending damaged combots back to the
assembly or using Hover Vehicles to repair them like building structures.
Note: The first method may prove to be faster, but the second method can
be very useful on one-on-one combat.
Aerial take over:
-----------------
There are two things to remember once you have taken over all the territories
in the air:
*You can still be attacked by jets built in hangars in the surface.
*Your own launchers cannot be used against you -- good protection against Hover
Jets is enough.
Flying Combots:
---------------
Build a squad of 5 to 25 Combots equipped with jetpacks and a mix of ranged
and HTH weapons (for example, Katana Swords and LRM missile arms, Axes and
Gattling Guns, Electro Grips and Plasma Cannons) and back them up with a few
Hoverjets and Bombers. These units can wipe out most (smallish to medium)
orbital bases and ground bases. Send in the Combots first to take out any
Anti-Air Turrets (so the planes are not shot down), then any other turrets.
Then head straight for the Matter Converter. Once this is down, the base's
defense shield drops and other buildings can be destroyed with ease.
Hedoth Combot:
--------------
In skirmish mode on map 26 is a platform in the center of the map. On that
platform is a Hedoth Combot without a crew. However, there are also 20 to 30
Hedoth Tanks. Make a large army. Destroy the tanks, bring a Combotcrew and
research the parts.
Demoversion:
------------
See Entire Map:
---------------
Press [F9] while playing a mission. You will be shown
the entire map for 2 minutes. The enemy can also see
you during this time.
Camo torso and laser legs:
--------------------------
Get to the second level. Build a team of combots and send them in and out of
the enemy base. Do not destroy their bot parts factory or their assembly bay.
Eventually, the enemy will get better weapons, some of them being the camo
torso and laser legs.
Aerial techniques:
------------------
Use the following tactics when defending against Hover Jets:
*Towers/Turrets with missile launchers (with at least level 2 strength) are
devastatingly effective against hover jets.
*Do not leave tanks and missile cars when defending against hover jets - they
are very vulnerable against aerial attacks.
*Do not scatter mobile walls. Instead, build them attached to each other in
open corners of the base.
